Gerard, thank you! We are aiming for 300-350hp.

John, ae you putting the 4g64 in a 914? if you do it right you can keep your front trunk. My first 914 had a 2.2 turbo I4 from a Shelby daytona and the radiator we ran fit in the engine compartment. I'd go with a push through config on the fan...

Mike, thank you! I got the turn signal switch installed that you sent, and you can see in the pics how the lenses look. Ihve chrome bumpers from a 73... I need to figure out how to remove them from my parts car.

Ah so YOU'RE the person that got the signal switch. I was disappointed when I showed up at Mike's on Saturday for the sawzall party and saw that it was already gone. Mine broke last week. I've noticed people REALLY don't pay attention to arm signals anymore... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I want to put the 64 in the silver car in my avatar. I'm getting a Evo IX Mivec head for free that I want to mate up to the 64 long block and possibly destroke it with the crank out of the same Evo (Lower the CR so I can run a IX turbo). Still learning as I go here. I was a Nissan guy before I got into the VW/Porsche side of things. So Mitsu engines are new territory for me. Been doing LOTS of reading on the Evo and 4g64 forums.

Where was the radiator mounted and how was it oriented with the turbo 2.2?

John,

I've got the turn signal switch I pulled still... the cancelling part fell off. You can have it if you want it; maybe you can get enough pieces from this one to fix yours?

The radiator in the 2.2 turbo setup was parallel to the engine. The mount for it was incorporated into the engine bar. It was on the 'front' side of the engine. (front being the orientation of where front was when it was installed int he daytona) the radiator was out of a mid 90's dodge minivan. It fit perfect and they are easy to find. In the 914 it happened to be the driver side, and the turbo was on the battery/passenger side.

In the I4 car that you borrowed the 64 out of; as you are looking at the car from the front, is the transaxle on the pass side or the driver side?

That'd be great! I'm not worried about it cancelling, as the wheel I have has no cancellation ring. I'm used to just flicking it off manually after I turn. The stalk on mine snapped on both sides where it wraps around the steering column. And unfortunately JB Weld isn't strong enough to hold it. lol

I haven't sourced the 64 yet. My friend that's stationed in Italy had his Evo IX engine die on him right before he shipped. So he left it here and in return for installing a new engine in it for him, he's giving me the original engine and letting me drive the Evo til he comes back.

The head and valvetrain are fine, but the block and one of the rods are trashed. So I'm ripping the Mivec head off that and seeing if the crank can be salvaged as well.
I'm just in the research stage right now. The guy with the Evo mentioned that it's possible to use the 63 Mivec head on the 64 and that it just isn't done often. He said the biggest concerns are making sure the oil pathways are there to feed the head for the Mivec control and the CR if I want to turbo it (stock 4g64 CR is 10:1, definitely too high).

Ah, with that Evo engine you are going to end up with your turbo on the driver side, and the intake on the passenger side.

send me your mailing address. =o) I've got to ship some parts out this week anyways.

It's about damn time you got out there and did something on the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

It's coming together nicely, Jim. I landed in KY Monday morning. I'll give you a call sometime Tuesday.

Yeah, no kidding!

I've spent the past 4 or 5 days (minus Sunday) out in my dad's shop. Tonight my mom wandered out to the shop and said something to the effect of "You've been working on your car a lot, and doing a lot of other stuff, you must be feeling better."

It sure feels good to have recovered enough from that last surgery to finally get out there and do something.

... try to call around noon my time. =o)

I'm test fitting the radiator...

trying to get it at the correct angle for just in case I come across a front sway bar setup for cheap. I don't want to run interference between the two.

Dude the front sway bar setup goes under your gas tank & thru. Your radiator won't get in the way of that at all. Unless you do some weird aftermarket sway bar I guess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

A friend of mine had a Mitsubishi GT3000 (regular non turbo 2-wheel drive). It got up and moved pretty nicely and I often thought it a viable project to install engine and transmission complete in a 914. The tranny worked great and the gearing was nice.
This looks nice, keeping my eyes on this thread.

working on bumper fitment...

This thing was a pain to align with rusty bolts. I'm going for new ones tomorrow, and trimming the 76 bumper edges off so the chrome one will fit. =o)

Thanks!

Once I get this all configured, I'll probably start drooling over the twin turbo VR4 engines. not that the transaxle will handle it...
I'm working on a website for Dr Evil; one of the features I'm programming into it is a gear ratio calculator so I can put my power band in and figure out which ratios I want.
